map of dogs
[edit]Could you give to commons this map: Image:Mynder map.png without names of dog breeds. I want to use it in pl wiki with polish names. Pleple2000 16:14, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
- I wish I could, but a computer crash left me without it, so I only have the Norwegian. Will se if I can do a new and let you know. TBjornstad 17:59, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello ToB, some lovely images you have. I see you created this category. How is it supposed to be different to Category:Dogs? Do you mean like Dog cartoons, Dog drawings, Dog silhouettes, something else? "Images" is not very descriptive, that's all. cheers, pfctdayelise (translate?) 07:47, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
- Sure, could name it 'Dog silhouettes', because they are actually colour photos that are made into silhouettes. I hope to do a few more, but I haven't had time yet. TBjornstad 17:42, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi ToB, just a note to be extremely careful when you copy images from other wikis, especially ones that might not have strong copyright/licensing policies. For example no source has actually been given for this image at Dogwiki, so I would say it is probably a random picture off the internet, not free. Just saying "from Dogwiki" is not enough for a source here, even if they themselves say it is GFDL; we need to be smart and examine if there is any reason for that to be true or not. Thanks, pfctdayelise (translate?) 04:42, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
DogWiki
[edit]Hi, DogWiki has a very high level copyright and licence policy. Due to the fact that it is a very fast growing project lots of users upload and write in a extremely short period of time. DogWiki accepts articles and photos under the GNU-license and also copyrighted material. According to our terms of usage it is not allowed to mix up copyrighted material with GNU-articles but it is possible to write an article and illustrate it with own pictures and leave it under the own copyright. Only the free usage (for all purposes and forever) by DogWiki must be guaranteed.
So its up to the user, to check if one can use a single article or photo under the GNU-license or if one has to ask somebody else (in most cases the owner, named with the article or photo) for any further permission.
DogWiki is powered by the "Institut für Tierpsychologie und Verhaltenstherapie" in Heidelberg/Germany as a free kynological database. Lots of photos are given from our own pool, from DogWiki for DogWiki, they are marked with "DogWiki". In this case DogWiki grants usage under the terms of the GNU-license.
We cannot check every single upload right now. The very eager DogWiki-community will do that during the next months for sure. Copyrighted material which was explictly given for DogWiki and the free material will stay in our database, all other items will be deleted.
In short words: We don't want stolen material
If you ever find any stolen material from books oder from the web in DogWiki please don't hesitate to inform me directly and personally via E-Mail.
Alone the fact that only the word "DogWiki" is given as author or owner does not indicate that this article or photo is stolen material. In this cases you should asume, that this photo is from the DogWiki picture pool.
You must understand, that the first intention of DogWiki is to inform in the best and completely way about dogs and dog-stuff. Having a completely free GNU-recource is only second.
During the time DogWiki will grow and more users will enter more and better material and the mechanism of what we call washing and wiping the database will bring more and more free stuff.
Using free material from the web is always a risky business, even if you take material from commons.wikimedia. So if you are in doubt with any picture uploaded from DogWiki to any other project please feel free to contact me, making me or my team searching for further information.
Have lots of funny days! Wiki up!
Peter W. Sawatzki, Admin, DogWiki

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Hamiltonstovare 600.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multilicense GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

Please give images better names
[edit]
I noticed you've uploaded some images and I thought I should turn your attention to a common error.
Please give uploaded images meaningful names. Otherwise they are difficult to track and it is hard to tell what the image is about without actually looking at it. I suggest you rename each image with an intuitive name that describes the image itself. Thanks, and happy editing!

This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Greyhound nor2-tb.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file (
[[:File:Greyhound nor2-tb.jpg]] ).
If you created the content yourself, enter If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |

Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.BotMultichillT 06:15, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Please help replace this outdated license
[edit]Hello!
Thank you for donating images to the Wikimedia Commons. You have uploaded some images in the past with the license {{PD}}. While this was a license acceptable in the early days of Wikimedia, since January 2006, this license has been deprecated and since October 2008 no new uploads with this license was allowed.
The license on older images should be replaced with a better and more specific license/permissions and you can help by checking the images and adding {{PD-self}} if you are the author or one of the other templates that you can see in the template on the image page.
Thank you for your help. If you need help feel free to ask at Commons talk:Licensing or contact User:Zscout370.
